HE WANTS A DEAD THING.

CHICAGO, March 31st-When the COM
mittee assembled this evening Carter Har
rison entered the room alone. After hear
ing the committees report, which was to
the effect that they could find no one to
champion the cause of the Democracy, Mr..
Harrison arose, and for the third time de-
clined the nomination outright, but before
resuming his seat he said that if the Re-
publicans would withdraw Roche and put
on their ticket Carter Harrison he would
beat Nelson by 10000 votes, and thus save
the city from having Socialist Mayor, as
the papers choose to style him. You
cannot ask Harrison to lead a forlorn
hope, cried the Mayor. when Harrison
runs he runs to win, but not to elect Mr..
Roche. If the citizens of Chicago, irrespec-
tive of party, should say to him to run, he
would do so" Harrison then left the room.
A member of the committee then moved
the appointment of an Executive Commit
tee of five to confer with the representa-
tives of the citizens organization, should
one develop. The motion was carried, and
the Democracy adjourned sine die.

LONDON, March 31st-The capacity of
the Cunard Company for dividing the bar
gain with the Government was proved by
Mr.. Burns speech at its annual meeting
yesterday. He has induced the Admiralty

Leather Coinage.

In the year 1928 Domenico Michieli,
the DOge of Venice, undertook a crusade
in Syria and Palestine, routed the Sara
Gems and entered Jerusalem in 1874 There
the Doge found himself greatly embar
rassed for want Of money, as the expected
supplies had not arrived, and the Nene-
tian troops Jmercenaries for the most
par0 clamored for immediate payment
under the threat of wholesale descrtion.
Then DOmenico Nchicli ordered a large
number of pieces of leather to be stamped
with the pommel Of his sword, on which
his name and coat of arms were engraved,
adding the number of gold coins each
vas intended to represent, And behold,
the money lenders in Jerusalem had such
respect for the DOge and his honesty, and
so great faith in the credit of the City of
Venice, that they advanced the required
amount on the security of those pieces of
leather, which then passed into currency
under the name of "Michieletti." They
were afterward redeemed in Venice on
presentation, and at later period added
to the coat Of arms of the Venetian no.

WISE WORDS.

Man is caught by his tongue, an OK by
his horns
Great possessions may bring great mis-
fortunes. Some men are punished by
prosperity.
The praise of others may be of use in
teaching us not what we are, but what
we ought to be
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
discover all the defects in a man when
we do not like him.
Be not to brief in conversation, lest
you be not understood; nor to diffuse,
lest you be troublesome.
Many are busy about shaking the tree
of knowlede and scrambIing for the fruit,
but neglecting the tree of life.
The sages were asked: (Which is the
most commendabIe war;" THAT which
is waged against our evil desires, was
their reply.
The greatest thing for q man to
know" said Alexander the Great, ''is
that with which he is least acquainted
himself in person"

up around there recently, and with the
idea Of bringing home some Chinese

of books were spread out on long coun-
ter. behind which was Chinamau, while
behind a sort of a desk at the other end

books looked to me like almanacs, if the
Chinese have such things, and walking
up to the counter, | turned two or three
of them over, looking at them to satisfy

Useful Hint :.

To clean a spice mill grind a handful
of raw rice through it.
Flour should always be sifted just be-
fore you wish to use it.
Stains on the windows can be removed
by using diluted spirits of salts.
A gridiron should always be heated
before putting meat on it % Troll.
To extinguish the flames from kero-
sene use flour profusely upon them.
Corned beef is a meat that should be
used with caution in the summer months
To remove grease from coat collars and
the glossy look from the elbows and
seams rub with a cloth dipped in am
monia
To kill moths in a carpet wet a cloth
with camphor, spread it out on the car
pet, where moths are thought to be, and
with hot iron send the steam from the
wet cloth into the carpet: this will not
injure the pile Of the carpet 1t is neces-
sary to destroy the moths as we'll as the

A Canine That Catches Fish.

J. n. Mcconnell, of Crawfordsv-,,,
Indiana, is the owner of a dog that he
values very highly. 1t is a fuIl-blooded
Scotch shepherd, about one year old
The canine is a smart one, and seems to
understand every word that is spoken to
it. Among its many accomplishments is
that of being an expert fisherman He
will take position in a drift in a small
stream running near Mr.. McConnelrs
house, and by making a racket Will scare
the fish out INTO water where he can see
them. Then, diving suddenly. he will
bring fish up in his mouth This
operation he will repeat until he Catches
as many as he wants. Spectators on the
banks in nowise emharrass him in his
plscatorlal pursuit. The dog is very
fond 81 fish and eats all that he catches
That is the only objection to the whole
proceeding, as his owner thinks that he
could supply his table with fresh fish the
year round if the dog could only be
taught to retrieve, and he Will give Il few
lessons in that art iacinnuti Enguirre.

The Care of Linen.

One of the most important departments
in household management IS the care OF
the linen. 1t is not enough TO see that
it is we'll washed and ironed; it must
be first looked over, broken places mended
anil stains removed. After it has come
from the hands Of the laundres3 it
must be put carefully away to secure 1t
from the moisture of the atmosphere
viii h will cause it to wrinkle, or from
insects which may destroy it. \ Judi
ciOus mixture of aromatic leaves or shrubs
cut up and sewn in bags or sprInkled IN
the closet or drawer where the linen is
will keep out most insects. Rosemary,
lavender, thyme, cedar shavings, rose
leaves, powdered sassafras and cassia
may be used separately or together for
this purpose. In all cases it will efOund
that linen will be econOmiscd by being
examined and where necessary carefully
repaired previous to being put into the
wash. 1t is good plan to have table
linen numbered 50 that each piece may
lave its regular turn in domestic use. If
linen is scorched as is frequently the
case in doing it appropriated appIlca-
tions Of mixture of vinegar, the juice
of an onion, little soap rasped down,
tablespoonful Of filters earth, a little
soda, boiled together and laid on the
scorched place pretty thick and allowing
it to dry on, will remove the scOrCh unless
the fibre of the texture has been injured.
Linen scorches more easily than cotton
goods and laundresses should bear this
in mind.
